Better in their words…

What the latest Epstein dump shows us, after clearing away the smog of fake Trump smears. It isn’t good for the global elite, that’s for sure.

WORLD NEWS AND COMMENTARY

🔥🔥🔥

As we’ve seen, dashing Democrats’ sweetest dreams, Trump was notimplicated in the 20,000+ pages of new Epstein disclosures this week. But apart from Trump, there was a mountain of new material to digest. And out of it all, maybe the single most shocking fact to emerge from the latest Epstein disclosures, the single fact that challenges all prior Epstein theories, is brutally simple: whatever else the “International Man of Mystery” may have been, Jeffrey Epstein was a moron.

The House Oversight Committee’s November 12th release of over 20,000 pages from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate includes hundreds of his personal emails and text messages. Many communications expose a casual criminal mindset. But much more discordantly, they prove Epstein’s startling lack of basic writing skills. It is especially jarring given how we’ve been assured Epstein was an elite international investment advisor, man of science, financier, and influential intellectual— which all require above-average writing and communications ability.

But Epstein’s messages are riddled with typos, erratic capitalization, poor punctuation, and run-on sentences —often in all-lowercase or, rarely, in ALL CAPS for emphasis— making them read like unfiltered rants written by someone in an alcohol-induced haze. Would it have broken his fingers to occasionally use the shift key? Apparently.

In one 2011 message, dispatched late at night by the timestamps, Epstein wrote his pal Hollywood publicist Peggy Siegel, asking her to convince Arianna Huffington —co-founder of the Huffington Post— to “champion the dangers of false allegations” and “send a reporter or reporters to investigate” Virginia Giuffre.

In other words, he was trying to gin up a hit job against poor Virginia, which is a crazy dumb thing to do in writing. And … why do it himself?

Epstein tried to sell Peggy on the project in diction that would embarrass a third grader, and as ever, based on leverage and influence: “the palace would love it, the girl in the photo, was nothing more than a telephone answerer,, she was never 15, according to her version she worked for trump, first at that age, at MAra lago.”

I mean, pick a caps lane, Jeffrey. Geez. More:

“All this agro”? Is he a teenage Call of Duty player? Hilariously, Siegal agreed to forward the request to Huffington with her endorsement, but only if Epstein fixed the grammar first. Huffington, who exited HuffPo in 2016, told Politico she never heard anything about it. I guess Epstein never did fix his grammar. Or he couldn’t.

🔥 What emerges from the emails we have seen is a mind, not exactly unintelligent, but disastrously undisciplined. He was like a trained circus chimpanzee loosed in a nuclear power control room. He could act smart, but it never went anywhere and has now melted down, with the white-hot radioactive core headed straight into the Earth’s mantle.

In one email with physicist Lawrence Krauss, for instance, Epstein feigned keen insight by quipping that quantum entanglement suggested something profound (unstated) about leverage networks. In other words, he dropped the highbrow label “quantum entanglement,” but immediately linked it to his grubby world of name-dropping, influence-peddling, and possibly blackmail. Poseur. In another email with a famous biologist, Epstein mused about engineering the “genetics of beauty”— and one can immediately imagine which lowbrow instincts the notorious pedophile was probably thinking about.

In the email that Democrats promoted this week trying to smear Trump, Epstein mentioned the “dog that didn’t bark,” a concept minted in Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series. Epstein might have read the books, showing some intellectual curiosity. Or at least, he understood how to apply the silent dog metaphor properly.

Further embarrassing the profession of journalism, many reporters failed to grasp the gist and completely missed the Sherlock Holmes reference. Epstein was clearly smarter than journalists, but that’s like saying he was smarter than an above-average kumquat.

In that now famous, tortured sentence, Epstein forever altered the expression, “the dog that didn’t bark.” But ironically, Epstein himself barked. He barked a lot, like when he later wrote, “trump knows about the girls.” It could refer to the trafficking operation, or just about his and Ghislaine’s habit of poaching young ladies from Mar-a-Lago’s spa. Either way, it was an admission of his own wrongdoing. In writing.

Not smart. Or at least, wildly undisciplined.

So what the emails show so far is:

1. A ‘financial expert’ who often couldn’t write a complete sentence.
2. Flashes of insight or education, with little substance.
3. Cementing things in writing that should never have been documented.
4. Using influence over persuasion to manipulate gullible elites, which smacks of cunning rather than intelligence.
5. Consistent devolution to his base sexual perversions.

Epstein had a formula, and he admittedly worked his formula with panache. Sidle up to one famous person, then borrow that person’s clout to connect with others. Sprinkle with massages over international waters, rinse, and repeat. Eventually, everyone thought Jeffrey was the celebrity. They were happy to think that, since Epstein offered them access with benefits.

He was pretty stingy though.

🔥 Another thing that was conspicuously absent from the Epstein documents was any evidence of real philanthropy. Instead, and perhaps unsurprisingly, his compassionate instincts leaned heavily into predatory and calculated image rehabilitation rather than any genuine altruistic drive.

Relying on a baker’s dozen of image professionals, Epstein almostsuccessfully rebranded himself from “convicted sex offender” into “pioneering supporter of science.” Guardian headline, on Friday:

The Guardian explained that Epstein’s “emails and memos depict a coordinated effort to influence online search results and journalists, and restore Epstein’s reputation.” In one example, Epstein paid a guy to clean up his web search results and his Wikipedia page, and then argued about the $10,000 bill.

The article and the emails provide a glimpse into how powerful elites use “image consultants” (i.e., P.R. firemen) to manipulate the media and avoid accountability.

From the thousands of Epstein emails that we’ve been allowed to see, the “International Man of Mystery” looks less like The Talented Mr. Ripley and more like American Psycho.

🔥 For years, my working hypothesis has been that Epstein was, as SDFL Attorney General Alex Acosta said (before taking it back), “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone.” Meaning, he was run by one or more of the three-letter agencies. But if he were, then he would have handlers.

These awful emails show no evidence of handling. Kind of the opposite. It’s making me start to wonder.

It seems inarguable that a handler would tell Epstein to stop emailing and texting like a drunk ex-girlfriend. His emails should be filtered and sanitized. If the agencies were trying to boost Epstein’s “master of the universe” image, why let him ramble, misspell, and implicate himself?

There is plenty of evidence of intelligence involvement. Beyond Ghislaine’s Mossad connections, Epstein’s calendar shows three 2014 meetings with Biden’s future CIA Director Bill Burns. At the time, Burns was Obama’s Deputy Secretary of State. Burns also popped up in a typical Epstein name-dropping email to Obama lawyer Kathy Ruemmler:

If Epstein was owned by intelligence, you’d think no sane handler —CIA, Mossad, or otherwise— would’ve let this email fly. It’s the antithesis of tradecraft: A compromising, attributable log naming a sitting Deputy Secretary of State, framed by a sex-trafficking euphemism, and dashed off to a White House alum like Ruemmler, who could’ve forwarded it to feds or hostile media anytime.

It’s either next-level tradecraft, or Epstein was a reckless idiot. I’m not ready to scrap the theory that Epstein was a CIA-created critter. Not yet. But let’s just say these emails have opened a crack of doubt.

🔥 Access might have been the cake, but the girls were the heavy layer of cream-cheese icing. The stench of elite sex trafficking suffuses Epstein’s emails, like the pervasive miasma of rotten eggs after sprinkling the lawn with sulphur water. “Girls,” “procurement,” and euphemisms like “young women” and “massages” appeared over 500 times in the latest disclosures. The Guardian, Friday:

In January 2010 —six months after Epstein’s first conviction in Florida— Gates-connected biotech investor Boris Nikolic was attending the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Epstein emailed him and asked, “any fun?” (Fun meaning sex.) After the pair dropped various names, including Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, Nicolic mentioned his fun had been frustrated. He’d been attracted to a 22-year-old woman, but, “It turns out she is with her husband. Did not have chance to check him out. But as we concluded, anything good is rented ;)” Nikolic wryly wrote.

Nikolic was a pretty typical —even tame— example. What it all appears to amount to is a vast, incestuous network of overfunded global elites, swapping access with each other for more money, luxury travel opportunities, and college freshman-level appetites for intercourse.

Viewed from a distance, the emails paint a portrait of a self-reinforcing feedback loop of grasping billionaires, politicians, journalists, and “thought leaders,” all desperately swapping entreé to presidents, palaces, and “girls,” with introductions, favors, and access traded like Pokemon cards for ever more of the same— cash laundered for “philanthropy,” private jets for “networking,” and sex, always and ever-present, for the international base currency.

But at bottom, despite all the trappings of uber-wealth and the exhilaration of brushes with royalty and celebrity supermodels, it isn’t glamorous. Not even in an evil way. All this grubbing and grasping and mean girls and backstabbing and chasing married 22-year-olds is certainly not smart, not for Epstein nor for his elite contacts. It is frankly pathetic. It is much less Eyes Wide Shut, and much more Porky’s with private jets— frat boy appetites masked by NDAs and non-prosecution deals. It’s all temporary, transient, and soulless, a vast, elite archipelago of nihilism, stretching from Davos to Dubai, where the thrills never last and everything good is rented.
